This is however, not the relatively formalized tone and style imposed by Wikipedia. Sentences starting with \"I seem to recall\" are perfectly welcome here - and articles do '''not''' have to be in the descriptive, encyclopedic style Wikipedia enforces. On the contrary, it is ''preferred'' that many of the articles be references, guides, helpful hints, suggestions, [[:Category:Tutorials|tutorials]] and so on.\n\nIf you have any information you want to contribute to this wiki, '''please, contribute it'''.  We'd much rather remove or modify a dozen potentially unsuited submissions than miss out on a single good one.  We hope this wiki grows into a useful resource for everyone interested in classic computing, no matter what their level of knowledge may be; it is meant to be all-encompassing.  -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] & [[User:Lucky|Lucky]] 16:11, 16 May 2007 (PDT)\n\n==Getting an account==\n\nAs mentioned, due to past problems with spam, you need an account to edit, and admins have to manually create accounts. [[User:Toresbe|Tore]], who handles requests for accounts filed via the system, is often busy, but I too am happy to create accounts - just email me (jnc at alum dot mit dot edu). Please let me know your name, what account name you'd like, and what email address to associate with it, and I'll try and get right to it. The system will send you an email with a temporary password; if you don't see it, and I have sent you an acknowledgement, check your spam-traps: we've had issues with that. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 15:33, 22 October 2017 (CEST)\n\n==Need Ideas?==\n\nIf you're not sure what to add, the [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]] page (also available through a link in the top left-hand corner) is always a good place to start! If you have any expertise in any of them, please weigh in! [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 21:44, 2 August 2017 (CEST)\n\nThe other thing you could do is fill out a stub article. (These are articles that need improving, by having more information added to them. They're a perfectly good start for a great article, they just haven't grown up yet.) You can find a list of them [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Stub|here]]. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 23:10, 17 December 2018 (CET)\n\n==Admin Services==\n\n[[User:Toresbe|Tore]] has added me to the [http://gunkies.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop admin group], and I have considerable experience as an admin on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jnc Wikipedia], so if anyone needs anything which requires admin status (e.g. merging histories for duplicate articles, deleting article names with typos, etc, etc) please let me know.
